Dealing with Acne on Your Back

Posted on Mar 1, 2018 5:35am PST

Is back acne discouraging you from putting on a swimsuit or a revealing
dress? Consider talking to your dermatologist. He or she can check whether
your breakouts might be the result of an underlying health problem, such
as hormonal imbalance. Your dermatologist can also recommend a skin care
routine and medicated products to clear up your breakouts.

soap. After bathing, apply acne treatment products with ingredients like
tea tree oil, salicylic acid, and sulfur. Be sure to cover up your back
before applying hairspray and other aerosol products, as these can clog
your pores.
